Wednesday, 22 April 2026/CretaOne/1 
KTEL Herakliou-Lasithiou, the regional intercity bus operator serving Crete, has launched new daily non-stop routes connecting key destinations across the island. These express services run without intermediate stops, reducing travel time significantly compared to standard bus connections. The routes are designed to improve mobility between Heraklion, Lasithi, and other major areas, making it easier for visitors to move between the island's eastern and central regions without a private vehicle or rental car. Tickets can be booked online through the KTEL Herakliou-Lasithiou website. For tourists planning day trips or transfers between cities, these express departures offer a reliable and affordable alternative to taxis or car rentals. Schedules and availability are published directly on the operator's official website, where online reservations can be made in advance.
